hi,
We have a pair of kribs and six small bristles, the kribs dont seem to be to worried about them. What im worried about is that our female can get quite nasty. She layed eggs in a pot when i put her in her current tank but there was no male as we lost our first male. So we went out to get another, putting him in the tank was interesting they got along well for a day then she constenly beat him up chewing off half his tail. After that the male went into hiding and just sitting around at the top, everytime he came down he was beaten up again. So back to the shop, picking out a male that seemed to be chasing around all the gals and displaying. Got home and dropped him in to find the second grew some gonads and now the 2 are happy again the new male im now floating as so they dont kill him, and have found a new home for him. After all that my question is does anyone think that the bristle's will stop them from breeding, as she is very colour full and fat and has been for about 2 weeks just no more eggs.

kribs f - 2" m - 2"
cats range from 1-2"
